"Backups of HD wallets, regardless of when they have been created, can
therefore be used to re-generate all possible private keys, even the
ones which haven't already been generated during the time of thebackup."
if i understood correctly this mean that the 100 pool address is olved, when you restore a backup after you have used all the privatekey previously generated, and added a new one? i can do this now without worrying about losing my coin?
Topic: Bitcoin Core version 0.13.0 Released - page 4. (Read 12375 times)
Plot twist: the warning was just for everyone to start checking the files they download 
I'm obviously joking.
That's how we move forward. Enough with supporting XP (generally speaking).

I like how they depreciated the Windows XP and removed the internal miner. The latter was just sitting there for no valid reason.That's how we move forward. Enough with supporting XP (generally speaking).
I have verified the hash and everything is what it should be. Honestly speaking, this is the first time ever I check the client software before installing it.
It was quite naive from me to assume that when I download the client from bitcoin.org that everything would be 100% safe. Now I know better of course.

Well I guess I am still conservative... I will stick to 0.12 for the time being until all the security issues has been solved...
There are no security issues with the version 0.13.0 itself. What are you talking about exactly? If you're talking about the binary warning, that's nothing special. You should have been verifying the downloads from day 1. There's a good guide to verify the files.

There will be minor changes regarding Segwit between 0.13.0 and 0.13.1. In the meantime, it's time to check out the results of compact blocks.Does anyone know whether the Linux repository has already been updated? I don't want to shut down the client just to verify that it isn't one more time (as I've done this yesterday).
Finally! The 0.13.0 release was long awaited. The number of improvements is really large. Despite the difficult situation caused by the frequent attacks by the big block ideologists, Core developers did a great job in improving the reference client.
With segregated witness that will be activated soon, Bitcoin is on a good way for further growth without putting decentralization at risk. With segwit, moderate blocksize increases and lightning networks, Bitcoin will scale efficiently for mainstream adoption.
ya.ya.yo!

Hi how does this work then? Is this the right thing to do?
1) Backup wallet.dat from your 0.12.1 folder
2) Delete wallet.dat from your 0.12.1 folder
3) Install 0.13.0 and open it so it generates a new wallet.dat file (this is now the HD wallet file I guess?)
4) Sync the wallet, once it's synced close the client.
5) Now you have a synced 0.13.0 but you need to boot 0.12.1 wallet again to send to the empty new 0.13.0 wallet...
how do I continue from here? I need to have 2 different versions of Bitcoin installed at the same time..

1) open your phone
2) do a transaction of all bitcoins in your phone (bitcoin android wallet)
3) change to bitcoin core and create HD wallet
4) do a transaction from phone to bitcoin core HD wallet
consolidate bitcoins.
use the network.
pay the fees.
I'm not sure I get the HD wallets part though, what do you mean It will generate all possible private keys ? It's going to generate private keys for all generated addresses we used?
the problem is ... you can't import a dumped HD wallet (seed).
so, ... i don't use HD now (safe).
Forgive my newbie ignorance please. I just finished downloading the blockchain that took like 3 days (bad internet_) if I am upgrading to Bitcoin Core version 0.13.0 ( am I going to have to do all that again?
Thats a no, and 3 days sounds pretty standard.
The download on bitcoin.org has been fixed. Commence updates!
SegWit, HD wallets, compact signatures - this version is packed with features that can completely take BTC adoption to the next level. This combined with the clearing of the miner BTC hoard should help fuel the next price upswing in a few weeks. Cannot wait!
please correct me if i'm wrong, when i install the 0.13.0 client, do i need to send the coins sitting in my 0.12.x generated wallet.dat, to the 0.13.0 wallet.dat file?
No, unless you want an HD wallet.
can't i just paste my 0.12.x generated wallet file in the directory and use it just like how it was with previous versions?
You can. Just leave it where it is (make a backup of it, while we're at it) and update Bitcoin Core, you'll have it working as you've always had.

But don't you need to create a new wallet for it to be HD? and does it have a nice GUI that guides you through the process like Electrum and tells you to save the seed and so on?
As far as I know you need to create a new wallet and send your coins from the old wallet into the new 0.13 wallet or something like that.
Yes you will need to create a new wallet in order to use HD wallets. There is no wizard for telling you to back things up. You can backup the wallet as you normally would. Also, right now, there are no seed words. That has not yet been implemented. But, you can get the master private key through the RPC console.As far as I know you need to create a new wallet and send your coins from the old wallet into the new 0.13 wallet or something like that.

You don't need to redownload anything. It will use what is already there. Do not delete or uninstall anything. Just download and install 0.13.0.Hi how does this work then? Is this the right thing to do?

If you want to switch to an HD wallet, then yes, you'd have to send the funds to a newly generated address on that wallet. Installing 0.13 replaces 0.12.1

Nice. Now waiting to see if there will be an attack on bitcoin.org or who will download compromised binaries. Still curious as to what the threat really is, who is threatening Bitcoin and what does he/she/it have to gain with this.
As for the update itself, good to finally see HD wallets, that's a very, very requested feature for quite a long time. ARM binaries are also an interesting addition, at least for me (and for those who generally consider ARM machines unfit for running Core).

With the old wallet format in Core, private keys are pre-computed in multiples of 100. That meant backing up the wallet file every time you use up 100 addresses. With the HD format, the private keys are determined using a cryptographic factor of some kind (details, cryptography experts?). This means that the backup only needs to happen once, as the private keys will always be the same exact sequence (the 'D' in the 'HD' abbreviates "deterministic")
